Discipline and Vision

DRESSAGE Pictures is an independent production banner built around character-first storytelling — elevated genre films, prestige true-story dramas, and grounded thrillers that earn their scale through character rather than spectacle. The banner develops and produces its own slate while partnering project-to-project with outside producers and financiers, from GRID Productions to Circle Entertainment.

Founded and run in equal partnership by John Henning and Johnny Lamm, DRESSAGE Pictures is hands-on across the life of a project: development, packaging, and — on titles like Tourists and Hiker — production itself.
